1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to compounds that can be used to inhibit sodium glucose cotransporter 1 (SLGT1), compositions comprising them, and methods of their use.

2. BACKGROUND

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia caused by hepatic glucose production, a deficiency in insulin secretion, and/or peripheral insulin resistance. In recent years, considerable effort has been directed towards discovering ways of treating the disease. One relatively new approach is inhibition of the sodium glucose cotransporter (SLGT), which lowers blood glucose levels by removing glucose from the bloodstream.

Under normal conditions, plasma glucose is filtered in the kidney glomerulus and in healthy individuals is almost completely reabsorbed. Obermeier, M., et al., Drug Metabolism Disposition 38(3):405-414, 406 (2010). That reabsorption is mediated by two sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters: SGLT1 and SGLT2. SGLT1 is expressed in the gut, heart, and kidney, while SGLT2 is expressed primarily in the proximal tubule of the nephron. Id. Although compounds that inhibit both transporters have been described, research has largely focused on discovering selective SGLT2 inhibitors. This is due, in part, to the discovery that a defective SGLT1 transporter in the gut is responsible for some glucose and galactose malabsorption disorders, and the belief that inhibition of SGLT1 would therefore be attended by unacceptable adverse effects. Id. Thus, most SGLT inhibitors currently in clinical trials, including dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, and empagliflozin, are selective SGLT2 inhibitors.

Recent clinical trial results do suggest, however, that inhibition of SGLT1 can provide benefits that extend beyond those provided merely by the inhibition of glucose reabsorption. See, e.g., U.S. patent application publication no. US-2011-0218159. In particular, it is believed that inhibition of SGLT1 can increase glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels. See, e.g., Moriya, R., et al., Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 297: E1358-E1365 (2009). A number of well-known diabetes drugs, including sitagliptin, vildagliptin and saxagliptin, work by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4), which is the enzyme responsible for GLP-1 degradation.

It should be noted that a chemical moiety that forms part of a larger compound may be described herein using a name commonly accorded it when it exists as a single molecule or a name commonly accorded its radical. For example, the terms “pyridine” and “pyridyl” are accorded the same meaning when used to describe a moiety attached to other chemical moieties. Thus, the two phrases “XOH, wherein X is pyridyl” and “XOH, wherein X is pyridine” are accorded the same meaning, and encompass the compounds pyridin-2-ol, pyridin-3-ol and pyridin-4-ol.

It should also be noted that if the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or the portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisomers of it. Moreover, any atom shown in a drawing with unsatisfied valences is assumed to be attached to enough hydrogen atoms to satisfy the valences. In addition, chemical bonds depicted with one solid line parallel to one dashed line encompass both single and double (e.g., aromatic) bonds, if valences permit.

5.5. Pharmaceutical Formulations

This invention encompasses pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention optionally in combination with one or more second active ingredients, such as those described above in Section 5.4.

Certain pharmaceutical compositions are single unit dosage forms suitable for oral administration to a patient. Discrete dosage forms suitable for oral administration include tablets (e.g., chewable tablets), caplets, capsules, and liquids (e.g., flavored syrups). Such dosage forms contain predetermined amounts of active ingredients, and may be prepared by methods of pharmacy well known to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed. (Mack Publishing, Easton Pa.: 1990).

Typical oral dosage forms are prepared by combining the active ingredient(s) in an intimate admixture with at least one excipient according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit forms. If desired, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. Such dosage forms can be prepared by conventional methods of pharmacy. In general, pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredients with liquid carriers, finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then shaping the product into the desired presentation if necessary. Disintegrants may be incorporated in solid dosage forms to facility rapid dissolution. Lubricants may also be incorporated to facilitate the manufacture of dosage forms (e.g., tablets).

Particular compounds of the invention may be bound to polymers and/or beads, which can be used to calibrate their delivery, metabolism and/or activity. For example, certain compounds can be bound via R_(4A) to beads designed for enteric delivery to patients.

6.37. In Vitro Human SGLT1 Inhibition Assay

Human sodium/glucose co-transporter type 1 (SGLT1; accession number NP_000334; GI: 4507031) was cloned into pIRESpuro2 vector for mammalian expression (construct: HA-SGLT1-pIRESpuro2).

HEK293 cells were transfected with the human HA-SGLT1-pIRESpuro2 vector and the bulk stable cell line was selected in presence of 0.5 μg/mL of puromycin. Human HA-SGLT1 cells were maintained in DMEM media containing 10% FBS, 1% GPS and 0.5 μg/mL of puromycin.

The HEK293 cells expressing the human HA-SGLT1 were seeded in 384 well plates (30,000 cells/well) in DMEM media containing 10% FBS, 1% GPS and 0.5 μg/mL of puromycin, then incubated overnight at 37 C, 5% CO₂. Cells were then washed with uptake buffer (140 mM NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 1 mM CaCl₂, 1 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM HEPES, 5 mM Tris, 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA), pH 7.3). Twenty microliters of uptake buffer with or without testing compounds were added to the cells. Then, 20 microliters of uptake buffer containing ¹⁴C-AMG (100 nCi) were also added to cells. The cell plates were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO₂ for 1-2 hours. After washing the cells with uptake buffer, scintillation fluid was added (40 microliters/well) and ¹⁴C-AMG uptake was measured by counting radioactivity using a scintillation coulter (TopCoulter NXT; Packard Instruments).

6.39. Tolerability and Pharmacology

The in vivo tolerability and pharmacology of compounds of the invention was determined using 18 week-old male C57/Blk6 mice. The mice were switched to 10% low fat diet (LFD, D12450Bi) from regular chow and individually housed for one week before study. The mice were then randomized into the following groups by their body weight:

Compound Chemical Name or Composition A N-(2-methyl-1-((1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)amino)-1- oxopropan-2-yl)-4-(4-(2-methyl-5-((2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)- 3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(methylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran- 2-yl)benzyl)phenyl)butanamide B N-(1-((2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)amino)-2-methyl-1- oxopropan-2-yl)-4-(4-(2-methyl-5-((2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)- 3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(methylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran- 2-yl)benzyl)phenyl)butanamide C (2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-2-(3-(4-(3-((1-hydroxy-2-methyl- propan-2-yl)amino)propoxy)benzyl)-4-methylphenyl)- 6-(methylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol D N-(2-methyl-1-((1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)amino)-1- oxopropan-2-yl)-4-(4-(2-methyl-5-((2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)- 3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(methylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran- 2-yl)benzyl)phenoxy)butanamide E N-(2-methyl-1-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1-oxopropan- 2-yl)-4-(4-(2-methyl-5-((2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-3,4,5- trihydroxy-6-(methylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2- yl)benzyl)phenyl)butanamide Vehicle 0.1% Tween 80 in water

Mice received either vehicle or compound by oral gavage at 1 mg/kg and in a volume of 10 mL/kg once daily for 4 days. Body weight, food consumption and diarrhea were monitored daily. At 6 hours after the last dose, blood was collected from the mice by retro-orbital bleeding for baseline glucose. The mice were then given a glucose-containing meal, prepared by suspending 50 g of low fat diet (LFD) powder (10% kcal as fat; diet D12450B, Research Diets, New Brunswick, N.J.) in 60 mL of water. Conscious mice received, by oral gavage, 20 mL/kg of this suspension, along with 5 mL/kg of 50% dextrose, which provided them with 9.2 g/kg glucose, 2.5 g/kg protein and 0.6 g/kg fat.

Blood was collected at 10, 30, and 60 minutes after the meal to estimate the postprandial glucose excursion. Blood glucose was measured using an Accu-Chek Aviva glucometer (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, Ind.) according the protocol recommended by the manufacturer. FIG. 1A shows the effect of 1.0 mg/kg (“mpk”) of compounds A-E on the blood glucose levels of the mice, compared to vehicle, as a function of time after their post meal challenge. Areas under the curves for each animal in the experiment are shown in FIG. 1B.

At 60 minutes after meal challenge, additional blood was collected for total glucagon-like peptide-1 (tGLP-1) analysis. For this measurement, plasma was prepared by centrifuging blood samples at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4° C. tGPL-1 was analyzed by ELISA (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Total ELISA Kit, catalog #EZGLP1T-36K, Millipore, St. Charles, Mo.) according to the protocol recommended by Millipore. FIG. 2 shows the compounds' effect on plasma tGLP-1, compared to vehicle, for each mouse.

Cecal contents were collected for glucose analysis immediately after collection of the final blood sample. This analysis was performed by adding five mL of cold MilliQ water to 1 gram of cecal contents. The mixture was then homogenized for 1 minute using a Mini Beadbeater (Biospec Products, Bartlesville, O K). The homogenate was centrifuged at 4° C. for 25 minutes at the speed of 3750 rpm. The supernatant was collected. Cecal glucose was analyzed by Cobas Integra 400 Autoanalyzer (Roche Diagnostics). FIG. 3 shows the results of this analysis for each mouse.

6.40. Effects on KKAy Diabetic Mice

Twelve week-old male KKay mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, Me.). They were switched to 45% high fat diet (HFD; diet D12451i, Research Diets) and housed individually for one week before study. The mice were randomized into the following groups by their HbAlc levels and body weights:

Compound Dose Number of mice (N) Vehicle (0.1% Tween 80 in water) — 9 Compound C 1.5 mg/kg 10 Compound C 4.5 mg/kg 10 where Compound C is (2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-2-(3-(4-(3-((1-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-2-yl)amino)propoxy)benzyl)-4-methylphenyl)-6-(methylthio)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol.

Mice received either vehicle or Compound C once daily at 5:00 μm for 36 days. Body weight and food consumption were monitored daily. On day 22, blood was collected before glucose challenge for baseline glucose. Mice were then given a bolus dose of glucose (2 g/kg, 10 mL/kg). Blood was collected at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after glucose challenge to estimate the glucose excursion. Blood glucose was analyzed by Cobas Integra 400 Autoanalyzer (Roche Diagnostics). FIG. 4 shows the dose-dependent decrease in glucose excursion at 15 hours after dosing Compound C, where time t=0 is the time the glucose bolus was administered.

On day 26 after dosing, blood was collected for HbAlc. HbAlc was measured using a meter manufactured by Bayer according to the protocol recommended by Bayer. As shown in FIG. 5A, mice treated with Compound C exhibited a significant, dose-dependent reduction in HbAlc. FIG. 5B shows the change in the mice's HbAlc between days 0 and 27.

On day 29, the mice again received a glucose bolus (2 g/kg, 10 mL/kg). Blood was collected at 60 minutes after glucose challenge and analyzed for tGLP-1. Plasma was prepared by centrifuging blood samples at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4° C. tGPL-1 was analyzed by ELISA (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Total ELISA Kit, catalog #EZGLP1T-36K, Millipore, St. Charles, Mo.) according to the protocol recommended by Millipore. As shown in FIG. 6, a significant increase in postprandial tGLP-1 was observed in the 4.5 mpk group (p<0.5).
